MV Plassy, was a steam trawler launched in late 1940 and named HMT Juliet in 1941.
She was renamed Peterjon and converted to a cargo vessel in 1947.
She was acquired by the Limerick Steamship Company in 1951 and renamed Plassy.
On March-8th, 1960, she was sailing through Galway Bay carrying a cargo of whiskey, stained glass, and yarn.
She was caught in a severe storm and ran onto Finnis Rock, Inisheer, Aran Islands - off the west coast of Ireland.
A group of local Islanders, the Inisheer Rocket Crew, rescued the entire crew from the stricken vessel using a breeches buoy.
This event is captured in a pictorial display at the National Maritime Museum in Dún Laoghaire.
Several weeks later a second storm washed the ship off the rock and drove her ashore onto Inisheer Island.
The wreck still lies on the shoreline and is a tourist attraction.
She is visible in the opening credits of the television series Father Ted.
In early January 2014, Storm Christine shifted the wreck's position on the coast for the first time since 1991.
